Abstract

The main result of [15] is that the classifying space of the stable mapping class group after plus construction BΓ+∞ is an infinite loop space. This result is used to show that, localized away from two, a connected component of the stable homotopy groups of spheres QS0 splits off BΓ+∞. The splitting is a splitting of infinite loop spaces. It follows immediately that the homology with coefficients in ℤ[½] of the infinite symmetric group is a direct summand of the homology of the stable mapping class group.
